Today is the day I can finally share the gorgeous cover artwork for my YA near-future thriller ESSENCE! This is a moment I have dreamed about, and I couldn't be happier with the finished product. My cover--designed by the wickedly talented Rebecca Lown--perfectly encapsulates the "feeling" of the novel, and I hope you guys love it as much as I do.

Please visit ====> YABooksCentral <==== to check out my cover, and make sure to enter our YABC giveaway as well. Some awesome prizes are up for grabs, including a signed advance copy of ESSENCE, a Yosemite pendant and chain and a commemorative Half Dome button. Also, as of last night, I've added one more prize to the jackpot: an ESSENCE Mantra/Counter-Mantra pin you will definitely dig once you read the novel.

Lisa Ann O'Kane is a young adult author and former vagabond who once camped out in Yosemite National Park for an entire summer, an experience that inspired her debut novel Essence (Strange Chemistry, June 2014).
